May 2013

You’ve heard the headlines. The Obama administration is caught in scandal after scandal. Persecution against Christians in Eritrea is at an all-time high. Human trafficking is up 18 percent in Europe. The Oklahoma City tornado kills school children. Syria continues in civil war. Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood continues identifying Christians for violence.

The world is in chaos….at least it appears to be that way.

The reality is that God is in control. The amazing thing about these headlines is that God is using each and every one to glorify Himself. Have you thought about that?

Each situation, tragic as it may seem to us, God is using to motivate His people to think outside of the box to do something more for Him.

That’s the tricky part for Mission Network News. Our job is to tell you about the news and information nobody else is talking about with a unique perspective — the perspective of how God is using people like you and me to accomplish this.

I’m always amazed at how God does this. He brings in what appears to be a bleak situation, then BOOM He does something incredible. It just goes to prove that our plans aren’t always His plans. The tricky part is trying to figure how to match up your plans with God’s plans.
